The Yashica-Mat 124 is a medium-format twin-lens reflex camera produced by Yashica in Japan, taking 6x6cm frames on 120 roll film. Introduced in the late 1960s, it sat in the affordable end of the TLR market, offering a built-in CdS light meter as an alternative to pricier German TLRs.

At UK auction today, hammer prices for the Yashica-Mat 124 have recently landed in a tight £88–£100 band across the two sales on record, with a median around £94. Because these are saleroom hammer results rather than dealer retail, a clean, fully working example with an accurate meter and clear viewing screen tends to sell for more, and condition is what the value hinges on.
